On Wednesday 19 February 2025, 10h-11h30 CET, we will organize our next burden-eu webinar, introducing new exposure-response functions for air pollutants and environmental noise.
Air pollution and environmental noise significantly impact respiratory and cardiovascular health. This webinar will present the latest advancements in exposure-response functions (ERFs), focusing on NO₂ and COPD, O₃ and asthma, PM2.5 and lung cancer, and traffic noise and cardiovascular disease.
In collaboration with the BEST-COST project, the session will feature insights from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and interactive discussions, offering valuable updates on environmental health research. Join us to explore these critical findings and their implications for public health.
